HEAR ST'S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, GA„ SUNDAY, .TUNE 1. 1913. 3 H fk^csMiTMas; T HE social side of the Confederate reunions seems to have reached Its height In the Chattanooga meeting last week. I thought that last year, when Macon did herself proud for the ^eterans, the brilliancy of th^ affair would hardly be sur passed at future reunions, but I really think Chattanooga had more affairs and more pretty women and girls present to greet the old soldiers than even Macon had. Brilliant balls and grand receptions were given, and in addition to these elaborate public en tertainments, were numerous smaller affairs, luncheons, dinners, teas, for house guests or special friends among the thousands of visitors. Red and white took the place of the patriotic red. white and blue in the floral deco rations, but they tell me that at all the affairs of the week bright-hued flags of the nation were entwined with the faded and worn emblems of the “Stars and Bars." Gathered together from all parts of the South were so ciety belles and women to do honor** to the veterans, all of these having, in common, a historic Southern an cestry, and all descendants of South ern soldiers. # * * Among the Atlantans in attendance were Dr. and Mrs. E. L. Connally, who were guests Mrs. Frances Fort Brown. Mrs. Connally is a daughter of the war Governor, of Georgia. Miss Cora McCord Brown, daughter of the present Governor and grand-daughter of the war Governor, Joseph E. Brown, also attended the reunion. Miss Hildreth Burton-Smith grand-daughter of General John B. Gordon, was to have been an honor guest, hut was unable to go to Chat tanooga. av she had to be In Atlanta to rehearse for her appearance In the Players’ Club performance this week Miss Regina Rambo was present, of course. Miss Rambo is a very loyal and enthusiastic Southerner and is personally known and loved by hun dreds of the veterans. She makes it a point to attend all the reunions?, 1f she possibly can. Miss Nina Gen try was an Atlanta belle In atten dance. The list of sponsors and maids and matrons of honor would cover a page of The American. 1 can’t recall ha if the girls- I know who were there, to say nothing of the hundreds of others. Among those I remember are: X« - son Chambliss, who hurried home from her visit to Miss Lula Dean Jones, , o attend the reunion: Miss Horten pc Herman, of Eastman, who was an other recent visitor to Atlanta, forced to curtail her stay in order to go Chattanooga; Sue Bowie, of Rom* Elizabeth Atlee, a former ChaUa- noogan, jwho now lives here; Part! Martin, a frequent guest of her kins woman. Mrs. Charles Martin, of At lanta; Emma May Rambo, who grad uated recently from Wesleyan and went directly from Macon to the re union; Helen Watkins. Mary Lynn Carter, Mary Scandrett, who was queen at the Macon reunion; Mrs. J. P. Norfleet, of Memphis, mother of Mrs. T. B. Felder, and Mrs. James L. Riley, of Atlanta. Of course many prominent Chattanooga matrons held official positions, among these Mrs. Z. C. Patten. Mrs. George Lancaster, Mrs. J. P. Smartt, Mrs. Garnett An drews and others. • * • V ISITORS returning from the re union are eloquent of the social affairs given, and highest praise has been accorded all who arranged these beautiful events. The opening reception on Tuesday 'evening was characterized by most elaborate dec orations. The immense pavilion, where 10,000 guests were received, was draped overhead and on all sides with United States and Confederate* flags intermingled. State seals, bat tle flags, and patriotic emblems In terspersed the draped banners. Strands of electric lights outlined great designs of the Stars and Bars, and hundreds of palms and bay trees, with ten or twelve tables massed with red and white flowers added to the scene. The many beautiful wom en were gowned exquisitely for the occasion. Over the scene floated the strains of ’ Dixie” and other melodies. They tell me that old-fashioned dances were the order of the evening at several balls given. Turkey trotting and other modern dances were tabooed. Square dances and waltzes were the leading favorites. I hear, and these were greatly enjoyed by the veterans looking on. I believe they would have enjoyed the tango, too, don’t you? There were balls on Wednesday and Thursday nights. The opening feature of Thursday night’s balls, which was the last of the se ries, was the grand march led by the generals and leaders of the Sons of Veterans, with their official sponsors and maids. • * • Let’* go for a lark! Where? Out to some park? Grant? Piedmont? Brookharen, or where? Bull Sluice is the place; When the moon veils her face, That's the plaee, of all places, / swear! There, made in the shade, Are dreams for a maid. For a young man, for even an old; So cut out the park, When you go for a lark. Bull Sluice is the plaee, I’ve keen told. * * • \ ^ES, I have been told that Bull ' Sluice is the very nicest place to go for a good time in or around Atlanta. It Is exclusive, too. and un less you get a permit from some on*» high in authority you need not try to invade the sacred grounds. v* aire^rming littie bungalow Mi I ICC D/tn i ■* H f i \/1 / 'v/ One °* > *he prettiest girls of the younger social con- 1IX I II \vl 1 Iv'V'l Cl tingent, and a general favorite in her set. Miss Moore leaves soon, with her mother, Mrs. John Moore, ami her sister, Miss Hattie Moore, for New Mexieo, where they will make a two months’stay, returning to Atlanta early in the autumn. — i „ V *) , At Photo by Hearn. out at Bull Sluice that is the home of fcfce man who looks after the lights j and electricity of the city, and if you are fortunate enough to get permis sion to ride on the big body of willow- fringed water that makes you think vaguely of a bit of Italian water bed. your happiness is complete, as far as it goes. Many private parties go out there to flsh, so if you are inclined towards a real, high-class, but giddy little lark, all shut in from the world by willows and sunsets and things like that, why. just get in your own, or your neighbor’s car, and speed out the Peachtree Road until you come to where you must turn off to Bull Sluice. • * • I HEAR that Tracy L’Engle, who took part in the annual college play at Wellesley College last week, is one of the first girls in the lower classes to be chosen for this muchly-sought honor. Miss L’Engle is in the Sophomore Class, and in two plays wherein she previously appeared —that of the Freshman and “Soph" classes—she showed so much talent that she was given a role in the col lege play, wherein only Seniors or Juniors, at most, compose the cast, as a usual thing. By a coincidence, the college play at Wellesley this year was Oscar Wilde’s comedy, “The Importance of Being Earnest,’’ which is to be given by the Atlanta Players’ Club. Miss L’Engle had the leading man’s role, and they tell me she made a very handsome “matinee idol’’ in her gen tlemanly garb. This talented college i girl returns soon to spend her vaca tion at home and she comes to a brand new home this time, her fam ily having recently moved into a most attractive place on Peachtree Road. The house is of the New England co lonial style, built of red pressed brick, and with white “shutters,” and other details of the period. The hospitable and charmingly furnished interior will be the scene of much delightful entertaining when Miss L’Engle makes her debut—an event two or three years in the future, however. * * * I HEAR that Callie Hoke Smith will be one of Ruth Tribble’s brides maids at her marriage to Samuel Dick, of Atlanta. The Tribble-Dick wedding, although taking place in Athens, can be accounted one of At lanta’s most interesting ceremonies, inasmuch as the guests* will include many Atlantans, and the bridal party as well. I have been told that Wim berly Peters, James Harris and Frank Martin will be members of the bridal party, and I suppose Jackson Dick will be his brother’s best man. % L. F. Montgomery will go over to Athens for the wedding or for other reasons. I am not sure of his reasons for going, but I predict that he will go. the way. and apropos of nothing which has been mentioned, “they say” that Lucy and Callie Hoke Smith have so .many admirers and friends in the foreign diplomatic set with titles and official “handles” to their names, the young men going up from Atlanta to see the girls are somewhat discouraged, when Count So-and-So, or Sir Somebodv-Else, or Ensign This-and-That comes .to call upon the Misses Hoke Smith, and they reflect radly upon the fact that they can’t claim the plain American title of “Mister” among the majority of their friends who think “Jim” and "Joe” of sufficient dignity. But I venture to say that neither of these girls is in any way “set up” about their titled friends. There is a very (‘harming and natural democracy about the Hoke Smith girls, which has had its value in making them universally popular !n Washington as well as in Atlanta. * • • D O you remember what good times you had last year at Warm Springs, with the motor ride which ended with a plunge into the nice warm water of the spring, then a fine old Southern supper of fried chicken and, afterward, a rocking chair on the porch. followed by a dance in the ball-room nearby or perhaps another (lip in the spring be fore going to one’s downy couch? (There are doubts about that downy couch, but one can’t expect every thing at ('summer hotel.) Well, the season for Warm Springs is on again, and I hear of numerous motoring tours to that historic old place, which has been rejuvenated since the auto mobile highway has been made be tween Atlanta and Warm Springs. The week-end dances will be Jolly events there, as of yore, the stay-a- while guests being augmented by nu merous stag-parties from Atlanta, Columbus-and other places. I hear that a number of Atlanta women wiU accompany their fathers and husbands to the Bar Association meeting at Warm Springs next week, which is probably the beginning of a regular series of motoring trips to that spot. Already, a number of At lantans are spending Sundays on pic nic parties or motor tours. I have heard of a very congenial group of friends who have been to different nearby places for the past several Sundays, carrying in their cars both dinner and snipper and spending the day in the open, to return by the light of the moon, if there is one. and if not, by the light of their acetylene or electric automobile lights—possibly lighted on moonlight nights as well. This party, which includes, usually, Mr and Mrs. Ronald Ransome, Mr. and Mrs Clarence Havert£. Miss Sa rah Rawson. Mr. Marion Smith and Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Simmons, spent one Sunday at Powder Springs and another at Stone Mountain. This i. an ideal time for such outings, for the woods arc full of all sorts of wild flowers, and (chief reason) the resorts a?e not yet in full swing for the sum mer girl, and, therefore, there isn’t must else to do these days in the way of an outing except a motor tour and a picnic lunch. A large party, I have been told, is going over to Warm Springs for a week-end stay, among the prospective members of this party being Misses Mary Butler. Louise Riley, Jeannette Lowndes. Lucile Kuhrt, Agnes Jones, Messrs. Frank O’Keefe. L. F. Mont gomery, Ernest Armistead, Philip L’Engle. Robin Adair and others. Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Adair. Jr, will be a married couple in the party. In April 'tis, that young girls' fancies Turn to thoughts of bridal "things," And the thimbles on their fingers. Glitter like little diamond rings. Rocking, chatting, o'er their sewing, The hours pass on golden wings; Tennis, motors, golf's forgotten, In the glory that is spring's. * * * D ESPITE the relapse into winter which came upon the city last week, the summertime enter taining went along merrily. By the way. the sewing party has made its appearance. Mrs. Frank Pearson giv ing one of the first of the season last Thursday, in honor of her charming guest, Miss Edith Bowron, of Bir mingham, Ala. There is nothing prettier than a group of girls, indus triously sewing and chatting on a sunny porch, partially screened from the street by vines and potted green ery. However the sewing party is of ten a “give-away” for the future brides. I heard one girl say the oth er day, anent a June bride of this year: “The first time I suspected Court ney of getting ready to be married was when f saw her sewing so indus triously at a little sewing party. 1 never had seen her sew before!” I suspect that at Mrs. Pearson’s party, there were quite a number of future brides, for the company was compos ed of the charming contingent, which is drawn upon for the June brjde supply. The pretty guest of honor had to confess that she was not an adept at sewing, her slender fingers being more accustomed to twinkling over the piano keys or swinging a golf club, for Miss Bowron is a very gifted musician, and a typical out-of- door girl as well. I^er hostess could make up for her deficiency in sewing however. Many of Mrs. Pearson’s friends have received gifts, beautifully hand-made or embroidered by her clever Angers, for she is fond of mak ing these lovely personal gifts, the work of her own hands. Throughout the summer, the sew ing parties will be a feature of social life. A number of Atlanta girls are exceedingly clever at sewing, making the daintiest lingerie and embroidered collars, jabots, and aprons at these morning parties which usually end in delightful luncheons. • • • S PEAKING of sewing, I am re minded that the Study Club, a group of young women who meet every week for serious study of his tory and literature, have become de moralized (if that’s the word—some folks might choose to use elevated) at the fact that so many of their number are deserting the ranks to become June brides. At their last meeting, they actually sewed wed ding garments, laughed and chatted and acted like ordinary girls. Instead of listening to a “high-brow,” lecture on Famous Women or German Lit erature! This meeting was held at the pic turesque home of Miss Alice Hentz in West End, and of course was a porch party, the young women sitting in groups on the vine-clad, flower- adorned porch for sewing and for luncheon. The brides of this Study Club are Misses Muriel Hall, Cour tenay Harrison and Minnie VanEpps. all to be married in June. Other members of the Study Club which leally is a most inspiring and inter esting club of import are: Misses Marie Sciple, Marlon Woodward, Kathleen Galley, Lucy Harrison, Alice Hentz, Frances Connally. Ella May Thornton, Martha Boynton, Mary Robinson, Eleanor Raoul, Clara Wlm- berley, Frances Newman, and several young married women. • • • \ 1RS. Joseph B. Whitehead had I planned a delightful trip abroad this summer, having sailed ear ly in the spring with Miss Mary Wheat for the Old World. Her plans Included a trip to the Orient and perhaps a winter in some picturesque far-away city. Now she has been called home, by the illness of one of her handsome young sons, Joseph B. Whitehead. Jr., who had an attack of appendicitis, at the school in Law- renceville. N. J., where he and his brother. Conkey, were to have re mained while their mother was travel ing. The summons came in Italy, and Mrs. Whitehead returned as fast as she could travel, to And her young son better. Her friends here. I am sure, hope that the boy will soon be convalescent. Whether or not. Mrs. Whitehead will resume her trip. I have not heard, but I suspect sh»* will not go away soon, as she is a very devoted mother, and will certainly stay with the youthful invalid until he is complete ly well again. Mrs. Whitehead is one uf Georgia’s wealthiest women and very popular in Atlanta. The past several years, stye has spent much of l>er time in New York and “on the wing,” being fond of travel and change. However, she makes annual visits “home,” as she calls Atlanta, and Is always much entertained while here. HAVE the pleasure and opportu nity. my young friends, to an nounce a series of most delightful affairs, for next week. The prospects for this week are bright for the “col lege set,” too. and I am sure that for several weeks to come, youth and gayety will reign supreme in the so- (ial world. This is the season of the "sweet girl graduate,” and her gal- 11nt “frat” brother. No series of social events for the college girls and boys is of greater in terest than the affairs which come along with “Tech” commencement And of all this series, no event Is looked forward too with the same keen appreciation as the annual re ception which President Matheson and Mrs. Matheson give at their home for the members of the senior class the visiting alumni and their friends among the younger girls of the city. Both President Matheson and his charming wife are personal friends of all the "Tech” boys, and few there are who. in after life, forget the cor dial and friendly interest which the head of the college and Mrs. Mathe son has given him in happy college days. This year, the reception at the home of the president is set for Monday af ternoon. June 9, from 5 to 7 o’clock. Another “treat” in the way of extra reception is in store for the boys and their friends this year, for Governor end Mrs. Brown are going to give them a reception on Tuesday evening, the 10th. Other delightful affairs of Commencement week which are an nual events will be the senior, and "Soph” dances, dances by the Cotil lion Club and by the “Bull-dog Club,’ and always a crowning event—the Pan-Hellenic dance when all the fra ternities unite to give a grand ball. The junior “Prom,” as usual will be a happy event of Tech Commence ment. Now, altogether, girls— HURRAH, HURRAH, for Georgia Tech, And the gallant "Engineers!" Special Lace Sale Planned for Monday.
